Enzo, my Benzo
Well, Chappy, even though I was talking to what's his face and more just putting him in his place because of his personal attacks on me, i'll help you out here. Actually I am surprised you asked because it's common knowledge that the CLK is built on the c-class platform and doesn't use material that is any better for finishing than the c-class.
As for your question: What does that make you, driving a clk55? I don't know and don't care. I'm not "painting" anyone I was making my point to an overzealous jerk and it obviously worked.
If you have anymore questions or problems with my comments, bring them to PM's..I'm done messing up this thread.

American Made Minivan Huh? Zorro, this American Made Minivan happens to be the Fastest Production SUV on the Planet. Dont Hate, It will murder your benz and your porsche. .... thats right. your Porsche can get smoked by an American Made Minivan.... Now thats Sad. I think its time you get a Real E-class, you know, the 500. Instead, you spent all this money on a POS to try to make it look cool, and still, a STOCK E500 looks a hundred times better.
Ive read a few of your other posts, and it seems to me that you think your know some **** about the 124s. If you knew anything, you would have a 500. No offense to other 124 non 500 owners. This guy is just a joke.
Why dont you just come out of the closet and tell everybody your acting career is non-existant. your really a maid for a cheap motel.

BTW... I still think the 124s are one of the best cars ever built...My cousin had a 94 E500, and I was and still am in love with it. It still doesnt give this guy the right to talk **** on CLK55s or ML55s. There was no need for his comment to MBENZMAN.

I am not quite sure what sure what Zorro's point is?
He is upset about platform engineering?
The CLK is based on the C class. OK
The W208 AMG CLK55 is a vastly modified vehicle.
Lets start with: engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, interior, wheels and tires, computer and programming, on and on.
The E55 is based on the E class. The SLK55 is based on the SLK. The S55 is based on the S class. ON and ON.
The BMW M3 is based on the 3 series. The BMW M5 is based on the 5 series.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
The Jaguar X type is built on a Ford Mondeo.
Its called platform engineering.
To discount ANY AMG built car
because of what it is based on in simply rediculous.
No name calling. No insults.
Just do your research before you make statements.

EDITED: I seem to have forgotten who had my back earlier, Zorro point is simple, he knows as much about these cars as most of the people who own them. He is not a guy that responds to questions by copy and pasting facts from google. I know this because he help people all the time on here with there W124's as well as other models. He knows what he is talking about, just drop this argument and go wax your car.

LOL. I own both a E420 and a 500e. does that make me more of an enthusiast?
bull****. We're all enthusiasts. Some just have illusions of grandeur.
Mbenzman is in my opinion a diehard. A tech who is also into the enthusiast part of it all. Let's drop the bull**** and get back to the task at hand...
whatever the hell it is.

Of course the W208 CLK is based on the W202 chassis. Zero dispute there.
He just wanted to show us "lowly" CLK/ML owners how much better he is than us....same goes for the "american made minivan" comment, referring to mbenzman's ML55, which some have already posted about.
Thing I can't figure out is that his family has owned a CLK430 and an ML. Since he's acquired his Porsche, perhaps he's too good to mix it up anymore with the RIFF RAFF?
Perhaps I'm just disappointed. He's been 'around' both here and on mercedes-shop for several years (I've even answered a bunch of his questions when we was shopping for a W210 E55). Back then, he actually showed respect to other members, without coming off as a know-it-all. Where does the hate come from?
I LIKE IT HERE (on MBWorld). I've met a lot of friends and shared some laughs in person and online....but this is different. I felt I had to "say something" this time....
